If your trailer wheel is 13 inches you will need to use a 13 inch tire; anything larger will not fit. For a 13 inch tire, you have a couple options for size, ST175/80R13, which is 24.1 inches in diameter and 7 inches wide, and ST185/80R13, which is 24.7 inches in diameter and 7.2 inches wide.

The different sizes also mean different capacities based on load ranges. I like the Karrier tires, and recommend checking out the Karrier ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range D # AM10210, which has a load capacity of 1,650 lbs at 70 psi, or the Kenda Karrier ST185/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range D # AM10208 which has a load capacity of 1,710 lbs at 65 psi.

I have added links to video reviews of these tires as well as a link to our entire selection of trailer tires for you to take a look at.
